The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Anambra State, Nicholas Ukachukwu, as a “fake pastor” and questioned his integrity.
According to a statement issued on Monday by Chinedu Obigwe, National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Forum, Ukachukwu’s emergence as APC’s candidate was marred by controversy and allegations of impropriety.
“Nicholas Ukachukwu’s antecedents portray him as a fake pastor and evangelist,” Obigwe said.
“The allegations surrounding his emergence as APC’s candidate, including claims of bribery and intimidation, further reinforce this perception.”
Obigwe cited the withdrawal of Obiora Okonkwo from the APC primary, who allegedly stated that his ambition was not worth spilling the blood of his supporters.
“This is an indirect way of telling the public that the winner of the primary is ready to kill anybody that stands in his way,” Obigwe said.
The APGA Chief also questioned Ukachukwu’s recent visits to churches in Anambra, describing it as a desperate bid to create a false impression of APC’s acceptance in the state.
“He is labouring in vain to buy the conscience of our church leaders with money all in a bid to actualize his rigging plan,” Obigwe said.
In contrast, Obigwe praised Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, describing him as a devoted Christian who genuinely puts God first in his endeavors.
“Governor Soludo has proved beyond every reasonable doubt that he is trustworthy and reliable by delivering on his 2021 campaign promises to Anambra people,” Obigwe said.
Obigwe maintained that the people of Anambra would overlook Ukachukwu’s antics and vote massively for Governor Soludo’s re-election on November 8th.
“The good people of our state will not be deceived by Nicholas Ukachukwu’s fake pastoring,” Obigwe said.
